Greetings! I am Terrance S. Tufts, M.A., LPC. I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, and men's issues just to name a few. Life can be hard sometimes and in those trying times, we all need someone who is willing to listen and it is my pleasure to be someone who will listen to you and help you navigate life's challenges!
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be yourself without judgment. I work with teens and adults across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges that come with change. My background in education has given me a deep understanding of the pressures people face at different stages of life, while my counseling training allows me to support clients in finding greater clarity, confidence, and balance. I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and collaborative, while helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward meaningful change.
Hi there! I work with adolescents and young adults who are navigating a variety of life challenges and mental health concerns. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, women's issues, substance use, PTSD, relationship difficulties, or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), ect., my goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe therapy should be a place where you can explore difficult emotions, gain insight into patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop practical skills to help you move toward the life you want.
As a Nigerian American therapist, I also recognize the impact that culture, identity, and family dynamics can have on mental health. I enjoy helping clients navigate the unique challenges that can arise from balancing multiple identities while honoring their values, experiences, and personal goals. I love animals, yoga, traveling, live music, and farmer's markets!
Hello,
My name is Brenda Rueda. I have a master's degree in psychology and another in education from Sul Ross University. I am passionate about helping those struggling with mental health. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, helping children, teens, and adults. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and OCD.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes you don’t have to be falling apart for therapy to make sense. I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationships, grief, identity, and major life transitions. I’ve spent my career as both a therapist and mental health leader, and I bring that experience into the room with warmth, curiosity, humor, and practical support. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what’s wrong—we can figure that out together.
Thank you for visiting Little Light Wellness!
I am a board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatry and family medicine. I received my Bachelors of Nursing through UT Austin in 2008 and my Family Nurse Practitioner Masters degree through UT Austin in 2014. I have spent the last 11 years treating patients with complex autoimmune medical conditions in an outpatient infusion setting.
In 2024, after realizing a need for holistic psychiatric care for my patients, I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification through Johns Hopkins University.
I created Little Light Wellness to integrate my passions for authentic, down-to-earth care, education, and empowering collaborative approaches to psychiatric treatment. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood as we discover what treatment paths work best for you on your mental wellness journey.
Heather Hogue of The Hope Quarry, is a former public school teacher. Her experience as a military wife is an asset to her counseling practice because she is familiar with some of the unique needs of military members/public servants and their families. She particularly enjoys working with spouses of military members/first responders and their children/adolescents. She is trained in the Gottman Method of couples counseling and is a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. Heather provides inperson services to those in the DFW/Arlington area as well as offering virtual appointments to those for whom the commute is prohibitive.
I'm a licensed counselor in Iowa (in-person sessions in Manchester), and Texas, with eight years of experience in the counseling field.

I have training and experience in trauma-informed treatment. Although I utilize others,t he primary modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor who specializes in mood and personality disorders.

Sometimes life does not turn out the way you hoped and it can take time to feel steady again. Maybe you are adjusting to life with a new baby while others tell you this should be the happiest time of your life. Maybe you are grieving a loss while the world keeps moving or facing an unexpected change and wondering how to move forward. Whatever brings you here, you do not have to navigate it alone. I am Angela Procalamos, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, and I support adults ages 18 and older experiencing depression, perinatal depression, anxiety, grief, and significant life transitions. As a non-traditional student raising two school-aged children, I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. That experience deepened my understanding of how demanding major life transitions can be, while my clinical training helps me meet each client with skill and care. I bring more than 11 years of experience in behavioral health, including work in community mental health and a managed care organization. This background gives me a broad understanding of both the systems clients encounter and the deeply personal nature of therapy. I believe in each person's capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I honor the unique path, timeline, and story every client brings to therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in McAllen
Searching for therapists in McAllen starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in McAllen, TX for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what to expect in sessions, and whether they work with concerns similar to yours.
In a smaller city like McAllen, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare practical fit factors, including appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong match for in-person or virtual care.
Therapy in McAllen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for McAllen therapists who match your preferences, view insurance options, and see upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
